We celebrated our wedding reception at Durty Nellys on 14 March 2026 and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the very beginning, the staff were exceptional — professional, friendly, and so attentive to every detail. They made us feel completely at ease and ensured everything ran smoothly throughout the day.
The food was outstanding. A huge compliment to the chef and the kitchen team for delivering such incredible quality.
The venue itself was perfect for our special day. It looked stunning, the layout provides a great intimate atmosphere, and everything was organised seamlessly from start to finish.
Thank you to all the staff, the chef, and everyone involved for making our wedding reception so memorable. We truly appreciate all the hard work that went into making our day so special. We would highly recommend this venue to any couple planning their wedding.
